Human beings have become human doings in our production/consumption driven society. Most people have truly forgotten how to let go--while awake or asleep. So much power comes out of learning this simple, but self-disciplined practice. Find a quiet room two days a week where no one will bother you. Pretend like you are super glued to the floor or bed or whatever you want to lie on. Place a blanket over you. DO NOT MOVE FOR 30 MINUTES. That is not as easy as it sounds for most people. Close your eyes during this time and listen to your breath. When your mind starts to think about one of your projects or about how you are wasting your time, bring it back to your breath and the amazing wonderment of being alive--and only being alive. Try to not fall asleep. Once you get better at this practice you will become aware of these subtle energies of the body. You will become warm during your meditation and your body can heal. You will also be able to call up this practice when you are stressed. You will find you get more done without the fatigue. But you do have to be disciplined about the meditation.

Two weeks of being moody on my end has taken its toll, but hasn't given up on my - yet! Oh well, guess we're both in the same boat, Michael, shall we say?
